Good morning! You woke up on a small, spinning rock, orbiting an ordinary star, one of hundreds of billions in a galaxy that’s been here for a long time. And somehow, in all that vastness, you’re here, making meaning out of a single day. Feels pretty miraculous to me. #sciart

They can drive the buses taking all the detainees home, and then report themselves for community service of the right kind, not the hateful kind.
people are like "what are we going to do with ICE agents if we defund the agency" and i think we should just put them in the camps we built for migrants and only let them out to be on game shows directed by mr beast

If you’re storing any beer or soda in the garage (and I’m not talking the garage fridge) that needs to be moved. Cans could burst with the prolonged cold stretch.
And double check you don’t have a random can of soda in your car either. That mess is a colossal pain to clean up.

Just wanted to say that your threads on this topic have been SUPER helpful for me. The comparison a few days between now and the 1980s was really enlightening. Thank you for taking the time to write it all out and share it.

I have hit the end of FFXIV MSQ. I started playing just before Dawntrail dropped. I have a /playtime of 50 days, 14 hours, and 30 minutes. That's with two DOW classes at 100, all gatherers at 100, and my crafting between 71 and 80.
And still so much more to go.
